Bear Films

Bear Films Review

Bear Films is the quintessential bear site packed with big hairy men. Most so-called bear sites feature guys who aren't the real thing, but Bear Films gives us authentic bears, cute cubs, and hairy daddies. Bear Films is an entire production company dedicated to creating their own hot bear videos and DVDs, and they've been doing it for over two decades. We last visited the site just over a year ago, and they have recently revamped the site with a new look and features, so it's time to head back and see what's going on.

You simply won't find a hotter collection of gay bears anywhere else on the web. The men come in all shapes and sizes from 160-pound otters with furry chests to big-bellied bears. There are cute and cuddly cubs, silver-haired daddies, muscle bears - every kind of bear man imaginable - there are even some chasers, men who aren't bears themselves but who love them. Most of the performers have body hair, and some plenty of it; you'll find lots of guys with beards, tattoos, and some with pieced cocks; there are also bald men, lots of furry chests and backs, and both smooth and hairy butts. And you'll also find some chubs who aren't particularly hairy, plus furry porn stars including some hot daddies like Jack Dixon, Mack Austin, Marc Angelo, Atlas Grant, and Parker Logan.

The action is hot because these are real men who love sex; they're not just doing this for a paycheck. These hairy men suck and fuck in mostly duos, but there are a decent amount of threesomes and a few gangbangs with up to five or six men. A lot of the sex takes place in hotel rooms, houses and condos, but Bear Films used to shoot in California, so there's plenty of outdoor sucking and fucking in backyards, on the lawn, by the pool, or at the camp ground. Kissing, sucking, rimming, stroking, and fucking - these bears and hairy men do it all - there's even a few videos featuring some BDSM action. BearFilms started off filming with condoms, but a few years ago, they moved to bareback sessions, so if you like bare bear cocks, you'll love these.

Bear Films now offers 570 videos in MP4 format. Every episode offers one size of download that displays at 1920x1080, and even the older scenes come in at this new, big size, although they're not a crisp as the newer ones. The vids stream in a player that resizes the videos to fit your device. They range from average to good quality depending on the age of the video, and there's a full-screen mode that has varying results with new productions faring better than older ones. One positive change in the Videos section is that the ten oldest videos are actually full-length DVDs that play well over 90 minutes each and some are closer to two hours. They play as one continuous movie instead of making you watch separate scenes. You'll get titles like "Bears at Play", "Wild Bear Urges", and "P Town Bears", and seven others. Another good thing is that the very oldest non-DVD videos play at 1920x1080 instead of the 640x480 that was previously the case.

Disappointingly, the current video count is quite a drop from the previous count of 882 videos from a year ago. Since the site is clearly in re-inventing itself mode, they may be remastering older content to re-release or they may have simply pulled it to re-introduce as new updates. I'm sure not exactly what's happening, but there's another clue that I'll talk about in a minute.

The picture galleries are equally puzzling. There seems to be a drop in gallery numbers as well, but it may be that the site's re-organization has simply moved them to three different sections. There's a Solo Photos section on the navigation bar that includes 460 galleries and the pictures are large, ranging from 1920x3410 to 2471x3707, and there may be other sizes. They're good quality digital stills that you can save individually or you can download whole sets in zip files. There's picture-to-picture navigation, but there's no slideshow feature.

One of the things I don't like about the new galleries is the thumbnail size on the preview page is out of proportion and ends up cutting off all or most of the models' faces. Thankfully, the enlarged pics are intact, but it would be nice if someone would tend to this. Finally, the site seems to be adding a photo set every Monday, although this week they added one on Monday and Tuesday.

Many of the video episodes have a photo gallery, too. I nearly missed them - to find them, look directly above the player on the right side and you'll see an "Images" link. These pics seem to display at 1280x1920, but there could be other sizes, and they generally pretty good quality. They appear to be digital stills with posed action, but I found others sized at 1600x1066, and these could be good quality screencaps. So with 579 videos, there could be as many galleries. So as I said, nailing down an exact counter is difficult and really not possible. 

It's hard to talk definitively about the BearFilms update schedule. They seem to be trying for a weekly Thursday update, but I also saw updates on Wednesday or Fridays; toward the end of June one week had consecutive updates during the same week. Most of the videos now appear to be Bear Films productions; previously their were Hairy and Raw videos mixed in, but this no longer seems to be the case. While I don't know how many Hairy and Raw videos were featured here; their absence provides another possible answer to the drop in video count. Finally, the newest update features Logan Shotwell and Scott Cardinal, and I know for a fact that this is an older, remastered scene because I had such a hard-on for Cardinal when this video was first released years ago. 

Gone are the six bonus video feeds from other sites run by this company. This isn't a huge loss because these feeds didn't have many hairy men. However, Bear Films has started a podcast called "Bearly Naked" that features hairy man and gay porn performer Steve Sommers interviewing men who appear on the site. So far, though, there are only two of these and I have no idea how often they plan to release these; the two on hand were released a week apart on August 15 and 21. There's used to be a store link offering the full line of Bear Films DVDs, but it's gone.

There are some downsides. There are two very hard-to-spot pre-checked offers on the far right side of the billing page, but they're easy to uncheck if you're not interested. The non-recurring month membership costs $20 more than the recurring monthly membership. When you hit back from the join page, you may get hit with a pop-over, but it's also easy to close. We have previously complained about cumbersome navigation, but this has improved. There are still no profiles or info on the model pages, just links to their content.

Bear Films delivers some of the hottest real bear men in sweaty hardcore action, plus some smoking solo jerkoff sessions. If you're looking for big hairy men, this is the place to find them in 579 videos to download, stream, and watch on your mobiles. There are also many photo sets, and a new video and pic set are added every week. I love the wide variety of men here from trim otters to bears with huge bellies and everything in between. If you are looking for real amateur bears, as well as some woofy gay porn stars, and more hairy men in all their natural and unshaven glory, get yourself over to Bear Films - you'll be glad you did!
